QUICK DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN EASY

Making delicious food that you can order, pick up and eat quickly actually takes quite a bit of time and preparation. All of the food at Chipotle is prepared using classic culinary techniques – no shortcuts

Guacamole

Ingredients

Whole, Ripe Avocados

Diced Onions

Lime

Chopped Cilantro

Jalapeños

Salt

You don’t need an oven or a stove to prepare it, but making guacamole the right way takes a little time and a whole lot of elbow grease. It would be easier if we used food processors or mixers--but we get the best flavor by hand mashing our avocados with freshly diced onions and lime multiple times a day.

Carnitas

Ingredients

Naturally raised pork

Spices (a whole mess of them)

Salt

Cracked black pepper

We start with the best, naturally raised pork we can find. Then it's rubbed with spices and marinated overnight. Nothing is injected or plumped, processed or frozen (which is a good thing.) It's braised for hours and hours (and hours) until it's so tender we can shred it by hand.

Barbacoa

Ingredients

High quality USDA select and choice quality grade beef *

Fresh garlic

Chipotle chili adobo

Toasted cumin

Fresh oregano

Salt

Cracked black pepper

Fresh whole cuts of beef shoulder are rubbed with a seasoning blend and fresh chopped garlic and braised for a full 8 hours until rich, tender, and juicy. Then it's shredded by hand right before you eat it.
